Mr. Eliyahu Kholedenko, Founder and CEO of Questrade Financial Group, will join this year’s Kinus HaMechanchim, bringing with him a demonstrated commitment to advancing Chinuch through meaningful initiatives and support.

In recent years, Mr. Kholedenko has played a significant role in strengthening Chinuch, including funding a major initiative dedicated to supporting Chinuch programs and backing the development of innovative AI-driven tools designed to enhance educational outcomes. His involvement reflects a forward-thinking approach to addressing the evolving needs of today’s classrooms.

The annual Kinus HaMechanchim will bring together mechanchim, principals, administrators, and school leaders for two days of professional development, practical guidance, collaboration, and inspiration.

During a general session, Mr. Kholedenko will hear directly from mechanchim about their experiences, the challenges they face, and the areas in which additional resources and support are most needed. The session will provide educators with an opportunity to share their perspectives and help strengthen understanding of the needs of the broader Chinuch community.

A highlight of the Kinus will be the banquet, where Mr. Kholedenko will serve as a featured speaker, addressing attendees and sharing his vision for the future of Chinuch and the role of innovation and partnership in supporting mechanchim.

Since founding Questrade in 1999, Mr. Kholedenko has grown the company into one of Canada’s leading financial institutions. Alongside his professional accomplishments, his commitment to Chinuch is deeply personal, and he continues to invest in initiatives that empower educators and strengthen schools.

“Strong Chinuch depends not only on the dedication of our mechanchim, but also on committed individuals who recognize its importance and are prepared to invest in its future,” said Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, General Chairman of the Merkos Chinuch Office. “Bringing together educators and supporters of Chinuch creates opportunities to listen, build meaningful partnerships, and provide mechanchim with the resources they need to succeed.”

Mr. Kholedenko’s participation reflects the Kinus’s broader mission of connecting mechanchim with Rabbonim, educational leaders, professionals, and supporters who share a commitment to strengthening Chinuch.

The Kinus HaMechanchim will take place י״ד–ט״ו מנחם אב | July 28–29 at the Armon Hotel in Stamford, Connecticut.
